[Spambayes] illegal header tanks SpamBayes

[Bobby Wilkins]

Not unless it is magically adding it to only a few a day...

I said it was increasing, not total ;^)

I got one several days ago, one day-before yesterday, 2 yesterday, and 4 so far today.

I receive upwards of 200 spam messages per day, so I'm probably getting a lot of things now that others will see later...

Funny, I don't have a single mail message anywhere (except the one I'm
replying to) which contains that string.  Could it be that Outlook is adding
it?
